Grand River Transit

I vaguely recall hearing the that 200's signal priority only kicks in when it is >3 minutes behind schedule; but I can't find the reference for now, but that would align with the GRT performance standard that buses are considered on-time, "..if it departs a scheduled timepoint no more than 3 minutes late." As side note, I've never come across the above linked performance measurement page before showing trends by month; only two indicators for now though (overall ridership and on-time performance).


Another definition from http://www.grt.ca/en/aboutus/FAQ-Perform...ements.asp:
"A bus is considered on time when it has departed from a timepoint at the scheduled time or no more than 3 minutes late. A bus departing more than 3 minutes after the scheduled time is considered late, while a bus departing before the scheduled time is considered early.
...On-time performance is then calculated by determining the percent of buses that are never early and up to 3 minutes late..."


This article from August 2015 talks about the signal priority for the aBRT/Ion BRT:
"Traffic signal priority will also be in place. When buses are behind by more than two minutes, green lights on Hespeler can be extended or red lights shortened to allow the buses to make up time."
